Sommario A meno di 50 anni dal lancio del primo Sputnik, evento che segnò l’inizio dell’Era Spaziale, la situazione è profondamente diversa da quella che a quei tempi si era immaginata. L’uomo ha messo piede sulla Luna, ma poi l’ha ab- bandonata, e i viaggi per Marte sono ancora un sogno; per contro, l’umanità si è saldamente installata nell’orbita terrestre, e i satelliti artificiali, da quelli meteorologici a quelli per trasmissioni televisive, si sono prepotentemente im- posti nella nostra vita quotidiana. Lo spazio è entrato di forza nella vita quo- tidiana; a volte ciò ci appare palese, come quando vediamo l’indicazione di un antifurto satellitare su di un furgone, talvolta è più occulto, come quando prendiamo una nuova medicina senza sapere che è il frutto anche di ricerche condotte su una stazione spaziale; ma, salvo qualche raro individuo, miliarda- rio e in ottima salute, l’uomo della strada rimane a terra. Sono i costi di lancio la causa di questa situazione: quando mettere in orbita un oggetto costa circa 20.000 $ per ogni kg lanciato, è chiaro che troppo lontano non si può andare. Agli inizi del XXI secolo, però, la situazione sta cambiando. L’Ansari X- prize, una gara per la realizzazione della prima astronave passeggeri comple- tamente privata, è stata vinta nel 2004 dal sistema Tier One e anche altri con- correnti, pur non essendosi aggiudicato il premio di 10 milioni di dollari, so- no intenzionati di contendere al vincitore un mercato che sta per aprirsi: quel- lo del turismo spaziale. Nessuna di queste “astronavi da turismo” ha la capa- cità di iniettare in orbita un satellite; ma sono un primo passo per consentire l’accesso allo spazio a basso costo, presentano un ricco ventaglio di nuove so- luzioni tecnologiche espressamente mirate all’economia, e potrebbero tra qualche anno evolversi in quella che fino ad oggi è apparsa una chimera: un trasporto orbitale capace di abbassare di ordini di grandezza i prezzi attuali. Il raggiungimento di questo obiettivo è la chiave per aprire, una volta per tut- te, la porta dello spazio. I militari sono, fin dagli inizi dell’era spaziale, tra i principali utenti dei si- stemi spaziali. Mentre astronavi e stazioni spaziali militari si sono fino ad ora 13 limitati, al massimo, a qualche esperimento, i satelliti militari hanno avuto grandissima diffusione; a partire dalla Guerra del Golfo, che ha visto l’impie- go di tutti i sistemi satellitari militari posseduti dagli Stati Uniti, non è oggi pensabile un’operazione militare che non veda anche l’impiego di sistemi spa- ziali. Anche in Italia la Difesa ha oggi a disposizione alcuni sistemi satellitari: per le telecomunicazioni (sistema SICRAL), per l’osservazione (Helios oggi, Cosmo-Skymed tra breve) e per la navigazione (GPS oggi, GPS e Galileo do- mani). L’approccio seguito dalla Difesa italiana per questi sistemi è fortemen- te differenziato: proprietà e controllo totale per le comunicazioni (SICRAL è un sistema tutto italiano, utilizzato solo dalla Difesa e gestito e controllato esclusivamente da militari); collaborazione con altri per l’osservazione (Helios è un sistema multinazionale, Cosmo-Skymed è un sistema nazionale ma aper- to all’impiego da altri paesi e a utilizzo sia civile che militare) e mantenendo in ambito militare solo gli elementi per la ricezione e l’elaborazione dell’infor- mazione; per la navigazione ci si è invece limitati all’impiego di un sistema già disponibile ed aperto a tutti gli utenti in tutto il mondo. Questi diversi approcci sono dovuti alla specificità e alle caratteristiche tecniche dei vari sistemi, nonché all’esigenza di contenere i costi di realizza- zione e operativi in termini accettabili. Realizzare e gestire un satellite geosta- zionario per telecomunicazioni non è eccessivamente difficile ed oneroso, e comporta il vantaggio operativo di consentire una stretta interazione tra con- trollori di satellite, controllori di rete e del carico utile ed utenza; gestire sa- telliti in orbita bassa è più complesso, richiede più stazioni (e quindi più per- sonale) e mantenere tutto in ambito militare non sarebbe probabilmente van- taggioso da un punto di vista costo/efficacia, almeno per il momento; la rea- lizzazione e la gestione di una costellazione di satelliti di navigazione sarebbe certamente al di là delle possibilità economiche delle nostre forze armate.

  • Pete Aldridge Well, Good Afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen, and Welcome to the Fifth and Final Public Hearing of the President’S Commission on Moon, Mars, and Beyond
    The President’s Commission on Implementation of United States Space Exploration Policy PUBLIC HEARING Asia Society 725 Park Avenue New York, NY Monday, May 3, and Tuesday, May 4, 2004 Pete Aldridge Well, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the fifth and final public hearing of the President’s Commission on Moon, Mars, and Beyond. I think I can speak for everyone here when I say that the time period since this Commission was appointed and asked to produce a report has elapsed at the speed of light. At least it seems that way. Since February, we’ve heard testimonies from a broad range of space experts, the Mars rovers have won an expanded audience of space enthusiasts, and a renewed interest in space science has surfaced, calling for a new generation of space educators. In less than a month, we will present our findings to the White House. The Commission is here to explore ways to achieve the President’s vision of going back to the Moon and on to Mars and beyond. We have listened and talked to experts at four previous hearings—in Washington, D.C.; Dayton, Ohio; Atlanta, Georgia; and San Francisco, California—and talked among ourselves and we realize that this vision produces a focus not just for NASA but a focus that can revitalize US space capability and have a significant impact on our nation’s industrial base, and academia, and the quality of life for all Americans. As you can see from our agenda, we’re talking with those experts from many, many disciplines, including those outside the traditional aerospace arena.

CHALLENGES d l C u Tackling these challenges effectively will not be easy. It will require consistent, a sustained, co-ordinated efforts over long periods of time. Space can help E e e in this regard. Indeed, space technology offers inherent strengths, such as O R s non-intrusive, ubiquitous coverage, dissemination of information over broad areas, rapid deployment and global navigation capability. Space systems may be able n e A r to provide effective support to public action, if appropriate space applications that tu fully meet users’ needs can be developed in a timely manner.

It assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the institutional, legal and regulatory frameworks that currently govern space activities in the OECD area and beyond. Finally, it formulates an overall policy framework that OECD governments might use in drafting policies designed to : ensure that the potential that space has to offer is actually realised.
